Another slight issues with PCP guns is the velocity. While one model may be good for 50 shots on one prefill, they're may be only 10 or 15 shots within a close enough velocity range to make accuracy repeatable. Generally a PCP velocity will climb the first few shots before it starts dropping. Tuning...

I played with PCP guns for a while, but got tired of fooling around with SCBA tanks and/or pumping the darn things up. Spring guns or multi-pump guns fit my lifestyle better.

The lighter poundage bow will be easier to shoot for extended times, and that's what you'll need to get good at it. Years ago I had a 45 lb Colt recurve and it was enough poundage to hunt with, but still light enough to hold good form with extended practice. Then the speed craze hit me and I started...

I'm not really into the bugging out or in crowd, but I generally always have enough Spam, potted meat, etc. in the cabinets to make through unexpected snow storms, etc.

When I do choose to carry, 90% of the time is a Ruger LCP in my pocket. The other 10% is either a 38 j frame or a Glock 43.

JB

I've saw some poor quality stuff from Henry. I'd personally probably lean towards the Uberti.

JB

I went thorough a Contender phase about 25 years ago, but it didn't last. I just could get the single shot pistol bug again.

JB

The BL-22 is my favorite of the 22LR lever guns. The Henry would be my very last pick. I've never been impressed with Henry quality.

Just about everything you read says the best performing 9mm loads are the hot 115 grains. I'm currently using Corbon 155 grain +p in my Glocks.

JB

I've never owned a 30-30 would average any better than 2" at 100 yards with factory loads. That's "average" for multiple groups, not that one freak group we all shoot then carry around in our wallet or sticks in our minds as "what my rifle shoots". But a number of years ago,...

I just got married at the court house. The metal detectors and armed guards wouldn't have allowed me through the doors with a handgun

JB

I've seen a number of the old ones that had been rendered unsafe by jack leg gunsmiths. The old Model 70 trigger was much easier to work on in my opinion.

JB

It's been a number of years since I melted any lead shot, but I don't remember it being that difficult. I don't remember the ratio, but we used the old lead shot with a little tin mixed in for most handgun bullets.

It would be a logistics pain to change calibers. They'll be with the 9mm for a long time.

A fellow West Virginian (at least early on) and his writings started me loading "magnum" loads in my 45 Colt Blackhawk years ago.

I was wondering the same thing. Fantastic rifle, but I couldn't see the point in only 2" difference in barrel length of the same caliber unless they were perhaps different twist.

JB

I did a lot of reading over on castboolits about powder coating. I never did se the point in it for the most part. One thing that did look like it would work took me back in time when you could buy NYCLAD ammo. Nyclad was a dead soft lead bullet coated in some kind of plastic type coating. The adva...

Yup, I'll save my money and stick with the standard one.

JB

My only problem with military brass is the smaller case capacity due to the thicker brass. I have a few 223 loads that pretty much fill up a commercial case, but won't quite fit into the military brass.

JB

The thing that p... all my friends off is the certified handgun list, they require ever model to be certified which apparently isn't cheap for the manufacture and some models therefore don't get done and are simply not available in CA. Approved handguns can be looked up here: http://certguns.doj.ca...

Scratch it off my list to see then.

Just kidding. I can't wait to see it.

I've always been a big fan of Leupold. Many of the optic gurus on some of the scope forums turn their nose and talk about Leupold relying on their name instead of keeping up with changing technology, but they've worked well for my needs. As others have said, their warranty is fantastic.

For storage RIG for sure. For general lubricant on a working gun, whatever gun oil I have handy.

I'm a CZ fan, but the 550's always seemed so darn heavy though.

JB

I've owned a number of Single Sixes over the years. The 5.5" barrel is a barrel length for general packing and shooting.

JB

Both will do the job within limits, but neither would be my first choice.

JB

I wouldn't have it if they gave it to me. Well not for my own use or enjoyment of course. But maybe just to get that old pile of junk off the street

I owned a M85 mini mausers in 7.62x39. Most of the actions were pretty rough as they came from the factory. They could be smoothed up some with a little work though.

Mink oil or Pecards should quiet down the squeaks.

Great. I agree about starches and sugar. Sugar seems to be the biggest culprit in weight gain.

Nice. A couple of those kids look kind of old....

A good gunsmith could add one as well as sawing a couple inches off the stock and adding a nice misfitting recoil pad!

There are newer powders, but Unique works well for me for short barreled revolvers.

The stock finish can be "fixed", but please be aware that the Browning epoxy stock finish can be a PITA to deal with.

Very true. I've refinished an A-Bolt and a 92, both were a beast to strip. And refinishing to match the original finish is far beyond my skills.

I'd love to have a couple of those myself, but stick them on Ebay and you'll get the top dollar for sure.

IMO the "Last Alaskans" is the only tolerable of the living in the north shows. At least the first years episodes there wasn't "too" much added drama. Hope they don't muck it up (like Life below Zero and Living Alaska) the second season. Also pretty sure that the guy with the M9...

I'm more of a 9 and 45 guy, but if you like the 40, pick up the police trade in and have at it. I wouldn't worry about wearing it out.

I never did any in depth testing, but I always used pillow stuffing to hold the powder in place in many 454 loads. It did seem to help with consistency over the chrono.

I've loaded reduced smokeless loads w/ fillers for years in several cartridge rifles & had lots of fun but I've seen hammers go to full cock & half cock in a muzzle loader from too much back pressure through the nipple w/BP... Dunno what would happen with a duplex charge of BP & smokele...
